On this day 20 years ago, Jay Z releases The Black Album

[KnickstapeCity]

Was living in Germany when this dropped. shyt was everywhere. Good times. Now, I can only stomach a few songs off of their but still my 3rd favorite project of his.

Germany? c00n.

 

[NoHalfWay]

Lupe’s pen was on 10 for this album

 

[Easy-E]

Classic album for a classic moment.

 

[Wild self]

Those 9th Wonder album remix and the Just Blaze remix for Dec. 4th still makes me go

This was Jay’s “Jordan over Russell” shot. He was never the same after that. No, not even AG or 4:44.

Yeah I said it.

 

[LiveFromLondon]

2nd best album

 

[Buckeye Fever]

I'm still in awe at the Allure beat. That melody

 

[Gifted one]

My 1st song

 

[Chris Cool]

Overrated by the retirement.

 

[Tasha And]

It was probably my 2nd favorite Jay album when it dropped and even probably up until around Blueprint 3 era. But I think I've played it so much and soured on all the singles that I don't really go back to it at all anymore outside of 1 or 2 songs. In hindsight it's one of the least interesting Jay albums to revisit. I think on any given day I'd much rather listen to one of the Volumes or the Dynasty even if I think The Black Album is a better album on a rating scale.

 

[Deltron]
